Areas affected...Southern Oklahoma...North Texas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 59...

Valid 242346Z - 250145Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 59
continues.

SUMMARY...Isolated large hail, damaging wind gusts and potential for
a brief tornado will likely continue for a couple more hours. As
this storms moves to the east of WW 59, a local extension in area
may be needed across parts of the area.

DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a trough extending
southward across west Texas, with a dryline to the east of the
trough. Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing to the east of the
dryline in northwest Texas, where surface dewpoints are in the mid
to upper 50s F and MLCAPE is estimated in the 500 to 1000 J/kg
range. The Frederick WSR-88D VWP currently has 0-6 km shear near 60
knots, and veering winds with height in the lowest 1 km. This, along
with strong large-scale ascent associated with an approaching
shortwave trough, will support a threat for supercells and large
hail. Wind damage will also be possible. In addition, low-level
shear appears sufficient for a tornado threat, but any threat should
remain isolated and brief. As the storm in eastern Wichita County
near the Red River moves further east into the weaker instability, a
downtrend is eventually expected to occur.
